David Green of the London Solicitors’ Litigation Association told the BBC the likelihood of success was difficult to assess. “Obviously, Amazon will fight the case at all levels, including class certification, but the court has recently issued several orders for similar actions, confirming the opt-out process,” he said. Big tech companies have the ability to fight back. He said.
Who will accept?
Anyone who has bought from Amazon in the UK since 2016 is eligible to receive this rebate. Leslie Hanna, one of the partners at Hausfeld & Kollel, who is leading the litigation, said: “The competition rules are there to protect everyone. They ensure that individuals make real and informed choices and are not simply made to make choices that benefit the companies they deal with. “Fairness is at the heart of competition law – and consumers are not being treated fairly by Amazon.” Hunter added, “Amazon should not be allowed to dictate the rules and treat consumers unfairly.” That’s why I’m bringing this action.
An Amazon official said: “This claim is without merit and we are confident that the legal process will clear it up.” Amazon has always been focused on supporting the 85,000 businesses that sell their products on our UK store – and more than half of all of them. Sales of physical products on our UK store are from independent sales partners.” We always work to offer customers the lowest prices and fastest delivery possible.
